Ben Foster Will Get Bleak in Adam Rapp's 'Red Light Winter'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on August 29, 2012 | Comments (1)While we don't typically celebrate when two talented actors leave a film, when it comes to Adam Rapp's Red Light Winter, the loss of Mark Ruffalo and Billy Crudup is actually a good thing. Variety reports that, while Crudup's role still remains uncast, Ben Foster is now attached to star in the role that was previously Ruffalo's, and his involvement with the film has given it a push to filming sooner rather than later. Ruffalo's involvement with the film (which playwright and filmmaker Rapp will both write and direct) was first rumored way back in the spring of 2011, but it was always something that was on the horizon for him, not of immediate import. With Foster now set for one of three lead roles, the production is reportedly looking to start filming in December or January. Rapp's play of the same name centers on a pair of college buddies (Matt and Davis) who hit their thirties and attempt to reconnect with each other by traveling together from New York City to Amsterdam to whoop it up in ways perhaps better suited for younger men. Along the way, the two get caught up in an unexpected love triangle with a "window prostitute" (set to be played by Kirsten Dunst), which unearths some of the fissures in their damaged relationship). It's bleak, dark, soul-searching stuff.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Just in time for tax day, EW.com has posted a gallery of our favorite accountants from TV and movies. You'll find plenty of your favorites, including Cher's Moonstruck heroine, Andy Richter's much-missed Andy Barker, P.I., and of course, Norm! Still, our reckoning may not be complete. We may have deducted some of the top pop culture bean-counters from our list. Some of you may lament the absence of Friends' Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry, pictured), who introduced TV to the concept of the "wenus" (weekly estimated net use of systems). Or Edward Norton's Fight Club character, who crunched numbers for an auto manufacturer when he wasn't getting himself into brawls. Let us know which of your favorites didn't make the plus column, PopWatchers, and remember: there's no accounting for taste.
Who are your favorite pop culture accountants?
I saw Oscar on there, but can we get a little love for Kevin from "The Office"? I mean, Scrantonicity!!
Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) in the Lethal Weapon movies…well, at least "Lethal Weapon 2″ and his classic drive-thru rant. They kind of ran the character into the ground after that.
You know I love you guys, right? And if what I say sounds cruel, that it's only because I care? Okay then:
Accountants? Libraries? Is there, in fact, no subcategory of pop culture too small and pointless to warrant a list here? Are you just dying for that all-important linkback from the ALA official blog to finally make this website a success? How long until we get "the top twenty greatest moments in pop culture lists"?
And how, after all of this, have you not done one for scientists? -
A little obscure, but one of my personal faves – Arthur, The Tick's sidekick. I wish my accountant wore a moth suit…it would make tax season so much more enjoyable!
angela from the office
and definitely the guy from office space
chandler was an accountant? -
Al Fredo
I agree with daisy; one strange post. Wasn't Ed Norton in Fight Club an actuary? Not everyone who crunches numbers is an accountant.
Gretchen Weiners
Chandler was a transpondster.
(I hope someone gets that…haha) -
WENUS was "weekly estimated net usage statistics." I don't think Chandler was an accountant; whatever it was that he did was left vague. Kind of like what Barney does on How I Met Your Mother, except that on that show, the other characters don't know what Barney does, either.
Transpondster? "That's not even a word!"
Yes, Gretchen, I got it. You beat me to it! -
Daisyj, you bring up a great point…it IS getting to a bit much.
Still, I promise to try to get in there and mention "daisyj" first when EW finally (inevitably) asks us to list our favorite frequent Popwatch commenters. -
To DaisyJ
Sorry that the lists are driving you a little crazy, but some people are more inclined to respond to something like this, vs one of the other comment sections where people get nasty and turn on one another for their opinions. I for one am encouraged for all chances to participate. And I throw in Kirstie Alley's character Mollie from "Look Who's Talking."
Chandler wasn't an accountant! He did Statistical Analysis and Data Reconfiguration before he got into advertising.
I always think of Bob Newhart, because he was a real-life accountant when he started his stand up.
Where's Henry from "Ugly Betty". If he's an accountant then you missed him.
What about Andy from Shawshank Redemption?

The Box In typical Japanese fashion, the pen is packaged better than most Christmas presents. It comes in a slipcase box with gold foil details, and just opening it made me feel special. Look at that rice paper hang tag! I'm a professional artist now. The Ink The pen comes with three cartridges, and the ink itself is actually pretty decent. It's water based and flows beautifully through the pen. Not quite as opaque as I would like, but then I find almost all inks disappointing in that regard. Luckily using the Platinum Converter the pen can be filled with any type of ink. Pretty awesome! Replacement Brush tips are also available. I feel better about a tool when I can replace its key parts. The Brush The pen itself has a really sleek matte finish that just feels good in your hands. The response of the brush is very similar to the other Kuretake brush pens, but better in all the ways you would expect from natural hair. It holds a nice point and produces gorgeous line quality. Quick strokes result in a dry brush effect that I found especially pleasing. The pen's versatility of line is definitely it's strongest feature. I used it for all of my Mid-Ohio Comic Con sketches, and could only have been happier if the tip were slightly larger, specifically size #6 like my favorite Isabey brush. Like any natural hair brush, the No. 40 will be your best friend for life if you pamper it just a little. The instruction booklet recommends washing out the brush tip if it gets stiff or sits unused for a long period of time. 'A long period of time' to me means more than 24 hours, so the one to five day washing procedure is a little annoying and perhaps the pen's only downside. The Conclusion If inking a line with anything besides your favorite sable-haired workhorse makes your eyebrows crinkle and your mouth scrunch up, this pen is for you. The No. 40 is beautiful to hold, performs like a champion racehorse, and comes in elite fancy packaging. However, if you just need a fantastic travel brush, I recommend the No. 13. I wore mine out and would have bought it again if the No. 40 didn't mash all of my brush snob buttons. Congratulations Kuretake, you win the Best Brush Pen Prize. For life. 5 people found this helpful

Wednesday, July 30 08:12:41
PSA Peugeot Citroen narrowed its first-half loss and posted the first positive contribution from its core auto division in three years, as the French carmaker's recovery plan began to show results.
Paris-based Peugeot on Wednesday reiterated its recovery goals for 2014 and beyond, after reducing the net loss to 114 million euros from 471 million a year earlier.
Peugeot sold stakes to Chinese partner Dongfeng Motor Group and the French state earlier this year as part of a 3 billion euro share issue, after racking up losses of 7.3 billion in two years.
New Chief Executive Carlos Tavares pledged to trim the model line-up by almost half, cut capacity, raise price positioning, and pare wage and component costs to lift the automotive operating margin to 2 percent in 2018 and 5 percent by 2023.
Operating cash flow surged to 1.667 billion euros in January-June before restructuring from 203 million a year earlier as Peugeot slashed vehicle inventories to free up working capital.
Despite stiff currency headwinds, the auto division returned to a 7 million euro operating profit - its first positive result since the first half of 2011 - from a 538 million loss.
Revenue fell 0.4 percent to 27.616 billion euros in the first half as emerging-market currencies continued their slide against the euro, putting a 251 million dent in earnings.
Operating income rose 55 million euros to 311 million at parts subsidiary Faurecia, while the earnings contribution from sales financing arm Banque PSA Finance fell 26 million to 172 million. (Reuters)

Well written, WW.

Well written, WW.
Please, does anyone think that executive officers are going to just wander home and collect their pathetic pensions when they can cash in massively on the sale of wholesale death?
A few million more dead, maimed, driven insane, made homeless or displaced people one way or another won't matter to them. More dead Americans won't matter. They joined the service; they took the risks; they took the money; they're dead. Who's making lunch?
No, America's last industry is apocalypse. No one else is hiring. And certainly no one is paying as well.
Ending the wars is the best way to get rid of the problem. Demonizing people for doing what is in their economic self-interest and as far as I can tell what they think is good for the country won't help.
Could the fact that resource wars will use up vast quantities of resources be described as ironic?
Smaller government -> fewer potential conflicts of interest
If the defense budget were cut, there'd be fewer generals (in the long run) and fewer private sector jobs waiting for them.
Restrained Radical,
How is "smaller government" an answer to this obvious problem of conflicts of interest? Let's assume (utterly unrealistic, I acknowledge) that we reduce the defense budget by 25% tomorrow. How does that address this problem?
Your argument is a strawman if I've ever seen one.
Looks like the DOD needs an equivalent of the '33 and '34 Acts.
@Sapphireyes "If our U.S. Attorney General was on the job, all those who have violated their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution would be removed from office and barred from running for public office for a period appropriate to their crimes."
Now THAT would be unconstitutional.
@Pacer wrote: "I'd have little problem with it if the expensive war machines were capable of subjugating those in the world who would deny us our bully's share of the planet's resources"
I agree and while that may be morally repugnant, it would at least be a justification for, and an obvious national benefit from, our huge military expenditure and continual wars. But has our military machine ever actually gained us access to natural resources that would otherwise have been denied to us?
Perhaps, W.W. should take a few hours to watch Ken's Burns PBS series "The War" to understand why he or she should be thankful and patriotic? War is not yet dispensible, thus are soldiers and military are not.
The practice seems to suggestion corruption and needs review. One interesting issue that W.W. broaches is whether US citizens have been accustomed to the "hum" of wars. It is more likely that the newspaper people have failed. I'll state it again, the journalists have not done their reporting and accounting jobs, but prefer to deliver polemics and writing.
Simply put, give US citizens a line item account of expenditures and let them loose to vote. How much would it cost a newpaper or journal to include a column of costs each week? From a print perspective, especially in the digital era, rather little.
This concept extends to the war on drugs, too. Let local communities see the cost of
1) Policing
2) Investigating
3) Prosecuting
4) Incarcerating
5) Post-incarceration problems (nebulous figure, no doubt)
6) Report the cost and ease of buying the illegal substances as a metric of the effectiveness of 1-5
I once saw a flashy police SUV in Georgia emblazened with lettering that informed us tax-payers that not one cent of tax revenue was used to pay for the SUV; it came from siezures. It never mentions that X investigations occurred and Y prosecutions occurred and Z people were incarcerated at $D/year. Not likely a good deal, especially when the ethics behind illegalization of drugs is dubious.
A running weekly tally of the costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan might open eyes. Why not include the costs of bases in Germany, Japan, and South Korea, too? The latter two countries seem to want us out and I say oblige them and respect the vote. Hidden in the cost is what our fellow nations are NOT paying for defense and security.
One argument might be that chaos later will cost more than military expenditures now, but the head of a snake might be easier to target later.
A bit of a tangent, but bloat always carries this risk of corruption. While we are a rich nation, it might be better to have a stronger military than necessary-but only if deployed appropriately.
One last question: in what other fields is this practice common? My guess is that it is not limited to the military. To where do Congressmen and women "retire"?
War....the greatest distraction for the greater population while the government has their hands in your pockets
Of the 28 comments previously posted before this contribution, astoundingly none have mentioned that the "wars" now being waged are all unConstitutional. Congress has not voted to declare war upon the American people - er - "drugs"; nor on "terror"; not even on Afghanistan or Iraq. Instead, the "wars" are merely funding items in the budget and continuing resolutions. Congress has not been doing its job representing Americans. The evil, spineless way to impoverish America while destroying and terrorizing other sovereign nations is to avoid actual declaration of war, and instead quietly fund the military-industrial-Congressional club. It's a crime against the American people, and an overt violation of their oaths of office. NO WAR should be funded, staffed, equipped or waged without a PRIOR declaration of war having been passed by 2/3 majority in Congress. If our U.S. Attorney General was on the job, all those who have violated their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution would be removed from office and barred from running for public office for a period appropriate to their crimes.
I agree that this is a problem, and one which could stand to have an incisive article or even special report done on it by The Economist.
"Sad but true. Except that most of this money does not come from Americans' taxes; it comes from our (rest-of-the-world's) savings."
Since they're apparently independent of each other, then we won't worry about it.

I have always wondered if supporting the troops might include trying not to get quite so many of them killed and maimed. I mean, you know, call me crazy.
Isn't it a plus for our government economists to have Wall St. experience? Shouldn't defense contractors hire the best defense experts? I would like to see conflicts of interests resolved in ways other than to prohibit the full exercise of one's talents. E.g., smaller government, improved budgeting methods, and the use of more independent committees in the legislative process.

5 cans of Apple concentrate and Carmel how sweet is this?
I only added one can and still thought it was a bit sweeter than I like.
Alright I'll try this with one can then
Well, I pulled it out of primary after sitting for 17 days. Made the full batch of carmel cinnamon syrup and mixed it with 2 cans of concentrate. Added that back in and stirred gently. Pulled a sample and tried it on ice while I was bottling and it was really good. After carbing up and sitting for a week I think this will be extremely tasty! 2 cans was good for me and I don't like my cider very sweet. Keep in mind that it was extremely dry from the Montrachet before I back sweetened so your mileage may vary with an ale yeast.
Getting ready to mix all the fermented cider with the syrup and 2 cans of concentrate in the bucket prior to bottling... FG reading before backsweetening...
Will this benefit from pectin enzyme addition? Was thinking about picking up the ingredients today.
Just served 10 gallons of this at a friend's wedding - was gone within 30 minutes. Back sweetened each 5 gallon batch with caramel syrup per Mike's directions and 2 cans of AJ concentrate. Stovetop pasteurized after about 5 days. Thanks Mike for the recipe! Everyone loved it.

NEW KNOXVILLE — New Knoxville head coach Kort Fledderjohann can't remember seeing his team run its offense any more smoothly this season than it did for large patches of Tuesday night's game against Marion Local.
The Rangers pulled away from Marion Local in the second half for a 46-28 Midwest Athletic Conference win in a make-up game at The Barn, as New Knoxville scored the first 10 points of the second half and held Marion Local to only eight second-half points.

GREENVILLE — St. Marys had the lead at the end of the first three quarters of Monday night's game at Greenville, only to a watch its work be undone in the fourth quarter.
Greenville outscored the St. Marys girls basketball team 13-2 in the fourth quarter and rallied past the Roughriders, 42-34, on Monday night.
Kelsey Tester paced Greenville with 18 points on eight baskets and two free throws. Tara Guillozet added 11 points.
Originally scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 10, the game was postponed
DEFIANCE — St. Marys' Madison Taylor's diving title and Jared Deubler's record-setting performance in the boys' 100-yard backstroke event headlined the Roughrider boys and girls swim teams competition at the Western Buckeye League Championships at the Defiance YMCA on Thursday and Saturday.

Hi all. I havent played istaria when it came out, back then called horizons. but i did start in late 2007 till summer of 2008. This game , in a way is very special. Not many people will realize it unless they can bypass the old grafics and its horrid past. When i started to play i decided to make a Dragon which is prob the only mmo that allows you to play one. Thus Zanukk was born. I was quickly invited to a guild called Timeless. Very nice people who rped here and there. Now most of em are vets , players who been in the game since it was released. They explained to me many things and the differences of each path the dragon can take. They has a nice pace on how they enjoyed the game, while i am a player who loves to push the limits of his char. I made many friends as i traveled around. I prob ended up being well known. One thing few people realize of this game that it does have tons of ways of customizing your play. This allowed me to do feats others dared not to attempt. The usage of crystals became my major focus and i was known to sit in bristogo and hunt for elusive gems. As i progressed thru the game it was becomming apparent that bipeds could achive many things that dragons cannot. such as takeing down some of the tuffest bosses solo, manage to survive a huge wad of mobs ect. However in order to achive such you had to master about every class to get a rating of 250+ . While i decided to choose the path of Lunus and actually rp my char to it. I did help bipeds out on things in return for gems. I had good times, ended up becoming mate to Starseye and an ancient dragon Xanthia became my mentor in terms of pve and the occasional rounds in the arena. The changing from hatchling to adult is probably one of the most memerable moments of the game. Those who are planning to use a dragon as their main i would advise not to skip thru the story to get to the next part. Its a very interesting read. Infact most of the lore is. The more i dug down the story the more i became attached to my char and the game. Knowing how one colony of dragons was attacked by the blight and a generation of hatchlings was massacered is quite compelling. Ill tell you only that as you may want to find the chars involved and what they know of what happened. Thru my adulthood with my dragon i decided to tone down on my lvling and actually try the crafting in this game. I have always dispised crafting but Istaria sucked me in. I ended up capping my crafting to 100 before my actual lvls. This gave me the advantage to use high lvl gear dispite that my dragon was lvl 60 at the time. I even aquired some rare armors given to me, and some i paid for . As i kept progressing in the game i started taking in some new players , explaining them things here and there, scare hatchlings with my zombie costume ect. the way the community is there are many ways to have fun. you dont feel an urge to rush to get to lvl cap. Yet my progress was going pretty fast . I did hit lvl 100 before i could even qualify to become and ancient. At this timeframe the devs added a few new changes to the game. adding 2 spells for the dragons. one that gave you faster flying and the most important. an actual heal that was not a heal over time. yet not somthing to say you can become a dragon healer and take over some biped positions. At this same times the devs also destroyed the monopoly of one guild that tried to control the boss spawns, they even changed their tos to make sure no other guild would attempt to do the same. This did somthing i never seen in a community of all the games i played. It created a player made channel that supported anyone intrested in taking down some of the endgame bosses. many guilds did participate. I ended up being one of em. Not knowing that to expect i joined the fray taking down Son of Gigaroth and General Relkar. Some good loot dropped from them so i became an active hunter, dispite being an adult dragon. I didnt have the dragon rez ect. As we took down these bosses i started to mold my chars stats to my licking , favoring more hp and tooth n claw . with some primal in the mix. Even as an adult i ended up haveing much more health than most of the ancients who joined us. Xanthia started to contribue to the fights with one of the most high dps builds for a lunus. I got my dirty claws on the Demon claw, one of the best weapons for dragons. Then after a months wait i was eligible to become an ancient. Many of my new friends wanted to help me. One person of my guild did not like the fact that i was getting along with the guild the ancients due to an old grudge, and well the drama he started to emit caused me to join the Mithril order where a few of my friends Dakoren being one of them were from. This same person who caused me to leave the guild actually became the herald of our server Chaos. This game allowed me to leave a mark, somthing i wanted to achive in EVE but ended up doing it in this game. For a long time a big assencion was rarely seen. Due to the communitys guilds grouping up to tackle end game bosses that were once monopolized created a even tighter community. community.istaria.com/forum/showthread.php Here was my asension. Dispite the bad vibes i had with justa . he did interview me due to the sheer size of the accension which i invited everyone to see. I even did it on a day for one person, who took me into timeless and was sick . I waited for him and had a good nice meeting with many friends i made in the game. But becomming an ancient was not the only goal i had. For i became a bit envyous of bipeds doing things dragons could not. I would sometimes go SOG hunting (son of gigaroth) with 2 of my friends when no one would hunt him. they would tell me that sometimes they could duo it (biped and a dragon) and well my biped pal was capable of soloing him depending how he spawns (he can spawn with different abilities) I did keep an eye on the battle dialog. and after a bit of reaserch i went quickly to start crafting new armor scales with slots. i changed my crystal layout. Of course my drunken mentor thought i was a bit crazy, to drop so much much dmg gems to favor defence hp and protection gems to different elements. So i asked her to come with me to fight SOG and duo him. Of course she thought i was crazy and i explained to her how we can prob take him down with our new spell. as we prepared for the hunt i did have one biped pal who prob helped me the most other than Xanthia to find my crystals, Gianty. we befirend as i started winning a few items he was looking for so a big trade endgame biped weps i could not use for crystals. he helped me complete my sets. we went and took on SoG and what a battle it was. Still Xanthia had her full dmg build so eventually she did take aggro from my defensive build. we thought it was almost over as we healed franaticly , this also bought me time to gain aggro via skills and all and i noticed he wouldnt dmg me as much. (both xanthia and i had a chest scale that had a 15% chance to lower a mobs dmg if it procced) In the end we won. Xanthia freaked out for what we achieved. But i told her i was not happy till i could solo him. just like bipeds can. i did give an attempt with a few people ready to back me up if things went wrong, and they did. SOG spawned in a spot and i got adds. so the rest of the crew who wanted to witness the ordeal had to join the fray and save me. Moments later after my failed attempt Gianty did have faith in me and gave me a few gems to consume to do another attempt. Then it happened. After finally getting everything i needed. potions, and foods plus crystals . I did the unthinkable. This was even intervied by Justa. community.istaria.com/forum/showthread.php Sog was spotted in a good place were mobs wouldnt interfere. I was buffed by gianty as he stood in solo watching. Xanthia was with me viewing from the air. This marked the time a dragon could solo sog just as a biped could. but of course i was buffed to the teeth. I Did have plenty of fun with istaria, howver now im not active. i do plan to return soon. i do miss all my friends there. I dont think ill ever meet another community like the one istaria provides.

I would love to try this game, but they do not support Vista. Worse, I've heard people say they can sometimes get Vista to work, but -not- Vista x64. If the developers would actually update the game's framework for the OS (I mean come on, Vista has been out for how long now?), I would definitely try it. |
Originally posted by Sheista I wont lie to you, this game was the very reason i never upgraded to vista. now they do have somthing at works to allow vista players to play the game. Hopefully their small team can get it done. The good thing is that they have been improving the game little by little. Oh btw most of the istarian players do have both xp and vista on their computer. that can tell you how dedicated they are to their game.

This was a find when i discovered a very old account on one attempt i did try to play horizons looooong ago. s128.photobucket.com/albums/p197/lzanon/old%20pics/ I was wondering why the name i prefered to use was taken. so i made up Zanukk. it did happen i made a char long ago that never left an island that is nonexsistant. Zanon is right now the other char lives on the tutorial island. Watching Fanbois drop their soap in a prison full of desperate men. |

Four died in transit accidents. Four succumbed to health problems. One was electrocuted while doing a good deed and another fell to a stray bullet.
Ten Mormon missionaries have died so far in 2013, far above typical levels. And while church officials insist the spike doesn't represent a trend, it has raised anew the question: Is missionary work safe?
The answer, according to the head of the faith's Missionary Department, is an emphatic yes.
In a rare statement issued in September after the 10th missionary died, Elder David F. Evans said Mormon missions are inherently safe. At the same time, he offered words of solace to the affected families.
"For the church and particularly for the families of these missionaries who have lost their lives, we know that the loss of even one missionary is far too many," said Evans, executive director of the Missionary Department for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"To these remarkable families we extend our love, our faith, our hope, and our prayers. And we pray that peace and comfort will be yours during these times of sorrow."
The official statement came as the LDS Church copes with a surge of more than 16,000 young women and men added to its missionary ranks in just a year since the church lowered the missionary age to 18 for men and 19 for women a year ago.
Church officials now peg the number of missionaries in the field at 75,000, up 28 percent from a year ago. The figure is expected to climb to 85,000 by year's end.
Evans said the church saw similar upticks in missionary fatalities in 2003 and 2008, with declines in intervening years. The church does not share its statistics on missionary deaths, but independent counts since the 1980s indicate the rate hovers between three and six a year.
The safety of Mormon missionaries spread across 405 missions worldwide does not come by luck or accident. The church's far-flung presence exposes its members — and its proselytizing forces — to all manner of natural disasters, human crises, accidents, and street crimes.
Stephen Ward, an 18-year-old missionary from Bountiful, Utah, was recently among survivors of a horrific train derailment in Spain that killed at least 80 people. Ward suffered a neck injury but was otherwise fine.
Evacuations and other precautionary moves to protect young LDS missionaries are routine, and church leaders have a long record of managing Mormons deployed in spreading the church's doctrines with high caution in the face of threats.
The Utah-based faith also pumps massive resources into training missionaries on safety and health, first at any of its 15 Missionary Training Centers followed by country-specific information given in consultation with church leaders on the ground.
Safety is also a key byproduct of the rigid etiquette, close supervision, and obedience to rules — rising at 6:30 a.m. and lights out by 10:30 p.m. — embedded in missionary life, especially the biblically based tenet of living and traveling in pairs.
"When we were keeping the rules, we felt especially safe," said Bryson Tudor, a 22-year-old returned missionary and Brigham Young University student who served near Lyon, France. "I felt like the rules were perfectly normal, because I could see how things could go wrong when we didn't follow them."
Traffic accidents are among the most common causes of death among missionaries — as they are for all men and women ages 18 to 24. Not surprisingly, missionaries receive safety training for bicycles and motor vehicles in preparation for their 18-month- to two-year-long stints.
Josh Burton, 23, from Alberta, Canada, died in a traffic accident in July, when a truck he was riding in overturned in Guatemala. Taylor Shane Ward, a 19-year-old missionary from California, died following an accident on State Highway 39 in southeastern Idaho.
Two other missionaries — 22-year-old Alesa Renee Smith, of Benton, Ark., and Jason Wiberg, 19, of Roy, Utah — were hit and killed while riding bicycles, a common mode of travel for LDS missionaries in many locales.
Four missionaries this year have succumbed to illness or other health problems despite efforts by LDS officials since the 1980s to improve screening and delivery of medical services in the mission field.
Scores of Mormon physicians donate their services to help missionaries — both on site and through a Salt Lake City-based team of 40 volunteer doctors and mental health workers that reviews and gives medical advice in cases worldwide.
"Our primary objective is to help provide a more effective workforce among the missionaries," Donald B. Doty, a Utah thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon who heads the LDS Missionary Department Health Services, said earlier this year.
According to church statistics, fewer than 3 percent of missionaries are ill on a given day, a dramatic reduction from three decades ago.
Among the least predictable and most common dangers facing missionaries is random street crime, which in August claimed the life of 20-year-old Jose Daniel Encarnacion Montero, a Mormon from the Dominican Republic. Montero was killed by a stray bullet in Cali, Colombia, according to a statement from Ruth Todd, LDS Church spokeswoman. His companion and two other missionaries also at the scene were unharmed.
Siosiua "Josh" Taufa, 20, of Salt Lake City, was electrocuted in June. The talented football player was fixing a leaky roof during a rainstorm in the southwestern part of Guatemala when he slipped and grabbed an active power line.
His mother, Juliete Taufa, said those circumstances spoke volumes about her son, who chose to go on a mission over pursuing his athletic interests.
"He was trying to help out a family."

SA 'lacks business law specialists'
Comment on this storySOUTH Africa had no specialised business law practitioners, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies said yesterday. "We don't have specialised lawyers, judges, and litigators to tackle business law," he said at a company law symposium in Johannesburg. The symposium was examining, among other things, the Companies Act. Davies said the act had made company registration "easier and quicker". He spoke about takeovers, mergers and fundamental transactions, and what could be done in anticipation of these. – Sapa

J. Slaughter[1]
[1]Etrema Products, Inc., Ames, Iowa, USA
Accurate modeling of magnetostrictive materials and devices requires coupling of electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and possibly acoustic domains. There are relatively few finite element software packages that include all these physical models and even fewer that include magnetostrictive models. Comsol Multiphysics was used to create linear magnetostrictive models with fully coupled physics. ...

Health and positive psychology, the placebo effect.
My research interest lies at the intersection of health and positive psychology, integrative medicine and health service research. I am particularly interested in understanding and harnessing wellbeing, through positive health psychology interventions, and enhanced health care encounters. I am also interested in addressing theoretical, ethical and methodological issues in placebo effect research.
My post-graduate research was funded by the Medical Research Council and the National Institute of Health, and published in leading medical journals. It is during postdoctoral research at the University of California San Francisco that I became particularly interested in positive psychology. Since joining UCC in 2006, I have developed modules in Positive Psychology and Health Psychology, and have been focusing on identifying predictors of happiness and evaluating the effects of positive psychology interventions (e.g. mindfulness, gratitude, altruism). I continue to advance placebo effect research, and at present, this includes updating a systematic review on the placebo effect for the Cochrane Library.

Newark doesn't conjure up images of luxury high-rises or leafy upper-middle-class suburbs, but the communities surrounding it do.
In fact, in the inner city, a typical house costs less than $160,000, according to Trulia. But in nearby Manhattan-satellite cities, like Jersey City and Hoboken, prices are much higher. So, too, are prices in the lush New Jersey suburbs of Madison, Morristown and Short Hills. All of that serves to lift the area's overall median home prices.
Despite all of these pricey homes, a high median income in the area has helped to raise the area's affordability score and more than half of homes sold last quarter could be purchased by the typical local family.

Warning: ramblings of an old homebrewer who hasnt brewed a beer in 15 years to follow. Ive got a lot to get off my chest First off, a big thanks to my younger brother who got bit hard by the homebrew bug recently, and figured hed try and drag me back into the fracas. Knowing that I used to brew my own many years ago, back in the early 90s before the kids took over my life, he started sending me emails with questions about this whole homebrew thing. I think I brewed my last beer back in 93. The story behind that being the last one for well over a decade shall have to wait for another time perhaps. Lets just say the story itself is still conditioning (a clue can be found in my screen name; not too cryptic for those that have shared the experience Im sure ). So my brother gets his first batch under his belt. Then he wants to go large. Huge large in fact. He tells me hes found a recipe for Pliny. To him and me both this is the king of beers. Pliny the Elder. The penultimate Hop Bomb. For those of us that like big hopped up double IPAs. I myself am an East coaster, but I get out the Bay Area a few times a year where my brother lives and we have made the pilgrimage up to Santa Rosa to the Russian River Brewery several times. Pliny the Elder is liquid gold. Ive not yet myself had the pleasure of quaffing Pliny the Younger, but understand Vinnie is brewing up this years edition right now, and I sure hope to make it out there in Feb to experience that So for Christmas, my brother sends me a box full of hops. Not just any hops mind you. Pliny hops. Simcoes, Cenntenials, Cascades, and Warriors. Seems that he went through all the trouble of searching the internet to get just the right the makings for his batch of Pliny, that he ordered up a double batch, split them up and sent me half. He figured if this wouldnt get me back to homebrewing, nothing would. So I bit. Hook, line and sinker. Excellent gift Bro, better than socks and ties for sure. I went up in the attic, and dragged down all my old homebrew supplies. I had to make a trip to the local homebrew store to replace most of the plastic stuff it was all looking a little weathered from years in the attic. But my glass carboy and other tools of the trade seemed to be in good shape. I spent a few hours soaking and scrubbing it all one night. And remembered how much I hate cleaning with bleach. But I hope I eliminated all the nasties. Okay, so it is now done. I brewed my first batch of beer last night after my self imposed 15 year hiatus. A Pliny the Elder clone, which I've dubbed "Pliny the Elderado." I was a little rusty with the whole process, but it's kinda like riding a bike, it comes back quickly. Most of it anyway. I invited my next door neighbor and beer buddy Larry over. He'd never brewed before, but always enjoys the good beer. Turns out a few months ago his daughter and her boyfriend went to one of these high end fancy brew houses up in D.C. where you brew your own beer on premises. They brewed 5 cases at a total cost of ~$250, all inclusive. Seems awful pricey, but they went all out with the full bells and whistle options, and had a good time so I'm told. Anyway, they gave Larry a case of their beer for Christmas. So he brought over a sixer of that, which was perfect because I think I recall that one of the cardinal rules of homebrewing is "One must drink homebrews whilst brewing." Rule number 6.5.a, sec 4 paragraph 2, I think it was. Right after RDWHAHB. Since after my 15 year homebrew hiatus, I didn't have any of my own, we drank his pseudo-homebrew. It was a very tastey IPA, btw. So as my wort was cooling, and after we polished off all of his beers and a couple of local micros I had in the fridge, we were talking about bottling. Id long ago tossed all my old beer bottles Id had from my previous life as a homebrewer. So over the last couple of weeks since my Christmas present arrived Ive had to start saving bottles again. At which point he informed me that he had empties. They had lots of company over the holidays, and his recycle bin was overflowing with them he tells me. I haven't quite yet accumulated all the bottles I'm going to need for this beer when it's ready, so I lit up. "Great, I'd be happy to take them off your hands", I say. Just in time, it turns out. Today is recycle pick up day, and he'd already put them all in his recycle bin out by the curb last night for pick up this morning. So off we go, out into the cold wet drizzle at 11 o'clock at night, digging through the recycle bin, separating the plastics from the cardboard from the bottles, like giddy little kids. "It's just the brown bottles I'm after, and not the ones with screw off tops. Here's one... clank clank...and another ..." Probably waking a few of the neighbors up as we go. Or and least causing them to look out the windows to see what all the commotion is. We did eventually wise up and drag everything up into his garage where we could actually see what we were doing and complete Operation Bottle Separation (OBS). We ended up fishing out almost a case of good brown bottles, over half of which had been from the aforementioned daughter's IPA. Which was cool, because those didn't have labels. I always hated scrubbing the labels off of used bottles for my own brews. When we came back in out of the cold, Larry's wife, who'd also come over to witness the new neighborhood brewing operation, and my own wife were both giggling and laughing - they of course had spied our little dumpster diving bottle rescue escapades from our window. We must've looked pretty ridiculous out there. But it was worth it. Along with the six Larry brought over early in the evening, and the few more we polished off, I netted half the bottles last night that I'll need in a few weeks when Pliny the Elderado is ready. And I tell them "hey, I'm just trying to make good on one of my new year's resolutions to try and be more green. We just saved those bottles from being trucked off to some far away recycling plant, and reduced our carbon footprint..." Bottle locally and drink globally. Or something like that. So, in a few weeks we'll get to see how Pliny the Elderado comes out. And how close to the one true "Elder" I get. Probably not as close as I hoped. My OG was a little low, coming in at 1.062. I was aiming for something like 1.074. Guess I'm just a tad rusty after 15 years off. But all those hops sure smelled good. The fresh leaf Simcoes were just spectacular. I don't recall ever using those in my prior brewing life. Or fresh hop leafs for that matter. I could never find them so always used the plugs and pellets. But I've still got another couple ozs left to do the dry hop with. I'm sure Vinnie would be proud. And once again to my brother, who rekindled my homebrew fires, a big thanks. He also pointed me to this great HBT web site where Ive been poking around for a few days reading up on all thats good in the land of homebrew. Ive even seen a few of his posts he's Odins Brew I think. Perhaps one day hell even share his Pliny clone brewing adventures. Or at least some of his beer.
Great story and welcome to HBT! Hope the "Elderado" comes out well. I've never even seen a Pliny the Elder before but I see it mentioned often here, I guess I'm going to have to go search some out.
A homebrewer's fairytale. I should print it out and have my girl read it to me before bed! awesome story.Speaking of Pliny, Last week i was making beer w/a local brewer, freezing outside warming our hands over a hot brew-kettle,enjoying good beer. When all of a sudden he pulls a Pliny the Elder from the fridge,Almost like Releasing Excaliber from the Stone. Me Never tasting it before it was hard to contain my excitement. Then he sadly explained how he was saving it for months now to share with another freind of his. kind of a bummer, Ohwell someday we will meet again!
"How come things that only happen to stupid people keep happening to me?" - Homer J. Simpson
Awesome! Glad you liked the Christmas present of all the hops! And even more glad that the drug sniffing dogs didn't mistakingly intercept the hops in the mail! Glad your home brew operation has been reactivated! Save me some! Interesting study perhaps, we're brewing the same recipe. I have a lower OG. The actual question in this post is at the very bottom... For those who like to read a lot, I'm the younger brother. And while I like to think I have controlled our genetic disposition for logorrhea (diarrhea of the mouth... seriously, look it up) I write a bunch too. I'll take this opportunity to oust my brother and his last brew experience in '93 and the clue behind his user name. (cool user name by the way bro'!) You can read all about it in my blog post OdinsBrew 3. My batch of the same beer, which I'll be calling "Thor's Hop Hammer, the Crusher", is bubbling away now. For those like me who like to read about brewing while waiting for the next batch of brew to become ready, I'll soon be posting my stories about it and my first ever batch "Loki's Snakebite, vanilla stout (made with 2 qrts apple juice and 2lbs corn sugar in the primary ...currently in bottle.) Also, for those who haven't had the pleasure to drinking a Pliny the Elder, maybe this link will work: BeerAdvocate.com To give credit where credit is due, and to spread the good word, this is the recipe me and my brother are making:Pliny the Elder Clone And thanks again to my bro for helping coordinate a visit to Russian River brewery for my bachelor party and to Vinnie for showing us his, then, brand new bottling machine! Questions about OGs, alcohol %, and tastes. My batch's OG was 1.049. Yours was what, 1.069? Maybe lower because I had to add additional plain water to the wort? Did you boil the additional gallon of water like I recommended after I thought my hops absorbed a lot? I'm assuming higher OG = higher FG which = higher ABV. And that more wort (less plain water added) = better tasting brew. So how do you get an OG up? i.e. why is mine lower than yours?
well KingHippo, you should point out to your Pliny hording brew buddy that he should read the label on the bottle. It says right there, and I quote from memory "Pliny the Elder is a historical figure. Please don't make this beer inside this bottle one" Since they just started bottling it back in July of this year, I have no idea how it ages. And I'm not too likely ever have the willpower to find out. Mmmmm Pliny.

text: SEEKING THE TRUTH: On a spring night in April 1970, a 35-year-old newspaperman who worked the night shift walked out of his office in Chicago and dropped dead on a dark street. Some hours later, two cops found his body and his family was told that the cause of death was a heart attack. This is a true account of what happened to the father of GQ deputy editor Michael Hainey, who lost his dad at the age of six. Years later, Hainey felt there were several holes in the story and, now, he's writing a book about what he's uncovered, in the form of an investigative memoir. "It took me decades to work up the courage to search out the truth," Hainey told WWD. "I've spent the past five years reporting the truth of his last night. I never would have guessed where it was going to take me." He also said the memoir will cover what it was like to grow up without a father in Seventies America. Hainey said he's in the final stages of finishing the manuscript. — Amy Wicks

Visual Studio 2008 Changes WebService Proxy
Just a short post today to address a change in how VS 2008 handles proxying your web services.
In earlier versions of Visual Studio, when we went to suck in the ASMX files that represent our web service, proxy code would get created on the client side with the same name as the class that was our web service.
If you do the same thing in Visual Studio 2008, you'll notice that that class no longer exist. If you have a lot of classes, you'll also notice that there are several interfaces that show up in intellisense now.
The new proxy class you are looking for is now named ClassNameSoapClient, where ClassName represents the name of the class in the web service.
Hopes this helps someone as they move to Visual Studio 2008

Selangor is one of the 13 states of Malaysia located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The Straits of Malacca is to its west while it is bordered by Perak, Pahang and Negeri Sembilan. Federal territories within this state are Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. Its capital city is Shah Alam and royal capital is Klang.
Petaling Jaya is another major development zone of Selangor and was awarded city status in 2006, making Selangor the only other state in Malaysia with more than one city; the other is Sarawak. Selangor also has the largest state population in Malaysia.
Being one of the most developed states with good infrastructure, the Selangor property market is huge and promises high return on investments. Major commercial developments include office towers, shopping malls, shop-office space and industrial lots. A wide spectrum of residential properties makes up the landscape of this state. Popular residential properties include terraced houses, semi-detached units, bungalows, serviced apartments, low-cost flats and luxury condominiums.
Residents of Selangor typically experience beautiful weather throughout the year with sunny days and cool evenings. Humidity levels remain high for most months and are generally at 80 percent or higher. Temperatures can range from 23 to 33˚C. The rainy season starts from December to February.
Malays make up more than 50 percent of the population in Selangor. The rest of the residents consist of Chinese, Indian and other ethnic groups. The cultural influence of Malays in Selangor is mainly from Bugis, Johor, Minangkabau, Mandailing and Javanese ancestries. The development of tin mining and rubber plantation in the 19th century brought in the Chinese and Indians. Hence, a kaleidoscope of cultures exists in harmony in this state. This is also reflected in its wide variety of local cuisines which include nasi lemak, bak kut teh and roti canai.

Unemployment stays at 7.6 percent
Posted onThe unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.6 percent as 195,000 jobs were added in June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Job growth occurred in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, retail trade, health care and financial activities, the government reported.
The results surpassed expectations. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast that non-farm payrolls would rise by 160,000. U.S. employers have been adding an average of 182,000 jobs each month during the last year, the Labor Department said.
The leisure and hospitality sector added the most jobs in June, with 75,000.
The job growth for the last three months raises hopes for a stronger economy in the second half of 2013, according to The Associated Press. The unemployment rate remained at 7.6 percent in June because more people started looking for work — a healthy sign. Once people start looking for jobs, the government counts them as unemployed.
Pay also rose in June, the Labor Department's monthly jobs report showed. Pay has now outpaced inflation over the past year.
Stock index futures rose shortly after the report was released at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The yield on the 10-year treasury note increased from 2.56 to 2.65 percent, a sign that investors think the economy is improving, according to the AP.
If growth accelerates and unemployment falls, the Federal Reserve could scale back its bond purchases before the year ends. The bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates low.
